There so many great lessons learned from our time with Jon that we decided to take the time to unpack some of his comments. Some, we will leave for you to interpret as they are self explanatory. We hope that this short review is helpful:
TAKEAWAYS:
EVERYTHING IN WRITING -
Putting everything in writing between Jon and his staff allowed him to honor their time and their work and preserve and uphold their relationship.
Keeping agreements in writing relinquishes control of the false narrative that we have control of life and therefore can easily make good on handshake deals. Further, it allows us to know what base expectations are and gives us the opportunity to overdeliver.
Aligning Values and Actions are a necessity for any business to progress and writing things down bring clarity to all parties involved in creating and upholding values as well as the teams efforts/actions.
HONOR YOUR INVESTORS:
this needs no explanation but it was encouraging to hear Jon's loyalty to his staff as investors and his financial backers. Loyalty is a precious and rare commodity in business and investing.
EMPLOY GREAT PEOPLE:
PAY GREAT PEOPLE WELL:
MAKE A GREAT PRODUCT AND GET IT TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT:
JON'S ADVICE:
THE SPIRITUAL:
"Be careful what you ask for"
"Recognize His will, asking moment by moment for direction"
THE PRAGMATIC:
"if you build it, they will come is a myth"
"have a good exit ( sales) plan"
"get comfortable being uncomfortable... you cant just do what you're good at"
"hurry up and wait" seems to be a standard for business life. but while you are waiting fill the gaps with doing work in your ancillary or complementary lanes.
